Wedding Night Sex: A Poll

I read an article recently that over half of newlyweds do not have sex on their wedding night. FI is using stories from people he knows as confirmation bias that the studies are wrong. So humor me, did you or didn't you?

We also had to laugh because based on the studies reasons as to why it didn't go down, we are officially none of those couples. We're most likely not to because I'll be drunk and he'll be tired, not vice versa.

We did. A lot of our guests stayed at our venue's adjoining hotel, which had a bar, but we skipped that part because it was almost 1am and we were both tired and just wanted to get back to our hotel room (more for the 1000 thread count sheets on the king-size bed and the spa bathroom than sex). But once we were back in the room and pretty sober it was kind of like "why not?" It was nice

Ours wasn't as romantic as I had hoped. We were both tired. As soon as we were done, we cuddled for a minute and he ate the leftovers the caterer packed up for us & I took advantage of the Jacuzzi in the hotel.

We didn't. We were drunk and absolutely exhausted. We did both wake up around 4 am on the day of our wedding and couldn't fall back asleep so we ended up doing it then - it was far better than drunk, sleepy sex at the end of the night.

I needed this poll. I thought were in the minority, apparently not? We were way to tired and yeah, a bit tipsy (drunk?). More tired than anything. Plus we knew who was staying in the rooms next to us...didn't want to test the paper thin walls.

We did it after our wedding but it honestly wasn't that great. We were both pretty tried despite having a mid-day reception that ended by 5pm. We ended up taking a nap after than joined some OOT friends for dinner/drinks at a local pub where my less than 24 hour DH told EVERYONE that "Yes we made it official."

After a good nights sleep and a nice dip in the Jacuzzi we had a much better time of it. I say, don't feel pressured!

We did in the swanky hotel shower. We were both tired, he was more tipsy than I, but we had people over to the room after the reception and when they left we hopped in the shower. We knew we got to sleep in a bit the next day, I didn't expect us to the night of though.

We did but almost didn't lolM's back was hurting and my feet - from wearing heels or flipflops all day.Not even sexually, but we were in the hot tub before doing anything - I almost fell going over to fill it - and we actually had the dumbest convo about doing it.

Me: How's your back?M: sore. How's your feet?Me: throbbing.*silence*Me: should we have sex since we just got married? Or are we gonna start the "not tonight dear" thing .... since we're married.M: *stares at me - we both crack up laughing*

We did. But we both had agreed beforehand that if it didn't end up happening that night we would both be fine. We waited til marriage, and DH said "I've waited this long, what's one more night? If we're too tired and it doesn't happen, it's ok." I felt the same way.

My one requirement for our wedding night hotel room was an in-room Jacuzzi tub. I love those for any occasion. We had a nice, long soak in it. Cuddles and Happy, not really hanky panky. But we are both tired and my H normally goes to bed really early anyway.

As we were getting ready for bed, the following conversation:

H: I know its our wedding night, but I am just so tired. Is it terrible if we just go to sleep?

Me: I've heard lots of couples don't have sex on their wedding night. Now I understand why (laugh). We're good, we're just old fuddy-duddies, lol.

We got married in the morning and went home after our lunch to get our bag and feed the cat before heading back into the city, but we ended up napping. Didn't get up to any fun until after we checked into our hotel, so it was still the same day but there was a nap in between :P

Yea, in the in-room jacuzzi. It was pretty awesome. But then after we got out, he asked if he had to do me in return (I can't really get all the way from just sex) because he was tired. I was like, "Umm, I'd appreciate it." It's like DUDE IT'S OUR WEDDING NIGHT. Sure, I've let it slide sometimes if we're tired since then but again ... IT WAS OUR WEDDING NIGHT.

Similar story as banana. It was at around 2-3 am (I think I showered first... my feet were BLACK from going bare foot on the dance floor- eww...). We were tired, but it was nice. Wasn't the first time. Then we slept in the next day.
